Deadline for commenting on Common Core standards is September 15

The Mississippi Department of Education says the deadline is just weeks away for education stakeholders to give their input on the Mississippi College and Career-Ready Standards.

The standards describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of each grade.

The department has launched the Mississippi College- and Career-Ready Standards (MCCRS) Feedback Forum until September 15 to give teachers, parents and other stakeholders a chance to voice their support or concerns of the standards.
